DIANE LANE as Lauren


DIANE LANE was fantastic in this film. Everyone knows she won an Oscar for "UNFAITHFUL" in 2003 but this is still her best performance I think.

I agree! Even if people don't see it as her best performance, she was a little girl, and her performance was so seamless and mature, it's amazing to observe.

I agree!

I agree... I don't think she'll ever make a better film.

I love the small touches... watch her eyes.

One of my favorite scenes is when the tour group leader invites her to join the group... watch the way she smiles and looks over at Bernard as she walks past him.

Can we seriously get any more past the most gorgeous child star? what is Vh1's problem! Gosh 79? I was dissappointed, she had to be the most natural faced beauty ever.

Whats life without Diane Lane.

I also thought she was amazing. It is amazing how naturally pretty she was.

I loved her in this movie as well but she did not win an oscar for "Unfaithful"-Nicole Kidman did for "The Hours". http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000173/awards .

...She was wonderful as Lauren...discovered ALR a couple of years ago on TCM....what a little gem of a film!...

reply

me too. TCM last night. I watched it for the first time last night. and before this I maybe, maybe just heard of the title of this film. never saw any images from it and never heard anything about it and never even knew who was in it until I watched it last night. what an amazing accomplishment of a film.

OP says that everyone knows Diane Lane won an Oscar for Unfaithful. Someone should tell the people at the Motion Picture Academy because they gave the award to Nicole Kidman for The Hours that year. Lane did get a well-deserved nomination that year though.

exactly, I really have a hard time believing she has ever given or will ever give a performance this good. it's amazing how good of a performance that it is given how young she is in it. it's such a natural performance and so finely detailed.
